Moon is waning (Krsna Paksha) and transits through its Kali phase this week as it passes through Leo, Virgo, Libra and into Scorpio. Moon is debilitated in Scorpio on 12.29 and 12.30.
Sun and Mercury are currently in Sagittarius and tracking each other closely. They both move from Mula nakshatra into PurvaAshada on 12.28. There has been some uprooting, change and dishevelment in mind and ego over the past week due to Mula and its deity Nirrti (the wife of Adharma and a symbol of breaking with dharma and Natural Law). Mental adjustments are happening and changes to our desires and needs, but don't get too attached to the uprooting just yet. As Sun and Mercury move into PurvaAshada on 12.28, the cleansing waters of Apas will be a balm to the spirit and soul. This is a better time for planting seeds of desire and intention after the prior tilling and ground preparation of the previous weeks. This week Sun and Mercury form a tight conjunction. Mercury will be in exact degrees with the Sun at the tail end of 12.28 and into the first wee hour of 12.29. Mercury is combust this week as a result and stays heated until later next week when they begin to separate in degrees. This combustion can create mental tension, agitation, anger and heated discussions. Tempers could flair, headaches might prevail; the mind will be extra hot, sharp and focused. Good for laser beam mental acuity, but not so good for "going with the flow". Additionally, these two planets are currently receiving drishti from Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. The heat and pressure is on. You may feel stifled and yearn for escape, change and "something better." Watch for self criticism and excess judgement towards others. Challenge your Self to learn something new and to be open and accepting of information and differences. Remember that Venus and Jupiter are also both retrograde right now and effecting our relationships in general. As per last week's horoscopes, "Be mindful of your need to "fix" others and remember you can only fix your Self. With the double retrograde action of Jupiter and Venus occurring, the desire to "fix" relationships will be at an all-time high. Re-direct that energy back onto your Self. Note that some relationships will get stronger during this time, while others will fall apart and lose their strength. Some individuals will lose their desire to "be in relation" at all. For the recluse types, this is the ultimate time of silence and a wonderful opportunity for meditating, spiritual focus and a strong turning inward." Old relationships will be returning to us, offerings tests and lessons. Our relationship patterns get a big chance for re-evaluation this week. What will you learn about your Self and what new intentions surface later in the week? For a jyotish Moon-centered approach to your day, follow my daily Moon Mind posts via Face Book. Utilize my jyoti/creative arts activities as a healing & awareness tool. This week's Jyoti/Expressive Art Therapy Creative Engagement Activity has us working with the knees and Venus retrograde *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your “Western Sign” as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart. Aries: Your concentration and focus can get the job done and remove obstacles at this time. There is leverage for forward momentum. Meet the right people, attend to your relationships and courageously expand your tool kit and knowledge base. Take a new class? Go on a fun adventure? Find joy in the small and look for the profound lessons and healing. Self care still rules. Taurus: The snipping and letting go. Finding the essence and taking nourishment from this alone. The working backwards and retracing your steps in order to arrive at this place for the first time. The effort and courage it requires for this path into emotion, ugliness, darkness. Go there. Heal these places. Attend to your wounds. Gemini: Learning from the past can be extremely valuable. You are getting an opportunity to evaluate pieces of your Self, relationships and your creative offerings right now. Emotional lessons are adding up. Rekindle your life force, your desires, your heart song. But careful that you aren't letting others fan your flames. Sustainability comes from being able to self-ignite. Cancer: You may be feeling confused about your courageous leaps and forward momentum suddenly. Sometimes taking a few steps back is important for your next few steps forward to be powerful. But ask your Self first "am I maintaining the status quo to avoid confrontation and possible conflict and turmoil or is this really in my best interest?" Learn from the relationships that are showing up, the ones returning. The truth is you are learning how to live in the moment more and let go. Good thing? Perhaps. Just don't get stuck there. Leo: Lasting transformations and change take courage and calculated movements. Goals are achieved through moments of calculated action steps. Work backwards now. Make your lists and check them twice. Find your laser focus and align with your agenda, but don't expect everyone else to be on your same page. Remember it's ok to be a loner sometimes. Virgo: Put your effort into your Self and fill your love bank with good thoughts and soul food. You'll have more to share from a sustainable place moving forward this way. You may feel longing for nourishment and your homeland right now. Take time for mother and Earth. The grounding will help you with the important choices you are struggling with. Libra: The need to "break free" is strong, creating tension and perhaps misalignment within your relationships. Is harmony important for you to maintain or is the fire necessary? Do not lash out with blame- avoid victimhood. Instead, take responsibility for your feelings, your own needs and desires. This is a time of learning about who you are and what you are; this can be a lonely journey, yet ultimately liberating. Scorpio: Retracing steps and re-evaluating past actions can be helpful as you move towards a more abundant future. There is a return to creative fire, ignited by desire and yearning. A chance to gather tinder for your own fire, giving your internal sparks company. Move with the fire. Voice this desire and find words to shape your feelings. Keep the throat chakra open and your head cool. Sagittarius: The need to move forward with your career and life offerings feels urgent. A certain restless thirst for movement and momentum and yet a strong desire for comfort and familiarity is alive. Is it possible to have both? As the strong desires and ambitions build, it will take focus, courage and educating your Self in order to meet the mark. Don't let friends and older siblings derail your progress. Capricorn: Return. Returning. Re-turning. Turning. Turning in. The dance within you and around you is happening in spirals, rolls and undulations; like a baby pushing up for the first time, rolling and finding a new relationship with its internal forces. Healing through your ever changing propreoception- the flux and changes that are a constant. Can you find your dance here- within the storm and chaos of change? Put words to your movement and momentum, to your spiral dance. Aquarius: As you work with your relationships, you may find a returning to early memories and childish needs and wants. What are your deepest yearnings and desires? What was lost and needs to be regained for more wholeness and satisfaction? Find ways, find tools, to create what works for you and don't expect others to be fully aligned with your process. There is support, however, if you seek it. Pisces: Relationships may be bringing some challenges to you as your career changes and goes through a metamorphosis; or is it you hindering your Self? Don't let the negative naysayers throw you off track from your desires and dharma. Speaking your message is important and will help refine it as well as give you clarity. This internal process for clarity and enthusiasm is building momentum for what is to come. Don't lose sight of your vision now. Plant your feet firmly and take a step forward.

11.5
Moon debilitated in Scorpio and moves to Jyeshtha nakshatra mid morning. Mind moves fast today. Get mental tasks in order but strive for balance. Keep your focus and use executive abilities for best results, just don't over do it. Expect some delays and frustrations. 11.6 Moon moves to Mula nakshatra early in the morning. Jupiter goes retrograde later in the day. This is a time of striving towards dharma, clearing out the old, outmoded and getting priorities in order. Attend to health and wellness. Dishevelment rules the day so plan for a bit of choas. You will need extra time to get things done so plan ahead and work backwards. Read more about Jupiter's retrograde motion via this week's horoscopes and my Jupiter in Gemini article below: http://www.swatijrjyotish.com/1/post/2013/11/horoscopes-for-the-week-of-114.html Moon is now waxing (bright half/Shukla Paksha) and moves through Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and into Aquarius this week. Moon is debilitated in Scorpio the 4th and 5th.
Last week's big planetary shifts and changes created a crack for new light to enter (through ideas, awareness, possibilities, ways to find support, desires, creativity) and this week continues in a theme of clean-up, re-do's and refocusing our efforts and attention. Saturn moves to Vishaka nakshatra on 11.4, ruled by the dual god, Indragni. This nakshatra is about working together, finding alliances and support systems through the merging of higher and lower entities, energies and enterprises. It is about bringing together the relative and the spiritual in order to create something sustainable, focused and life supporting. Indragni is also connected to the altar- the sacred place of offering to the gods, as well as the alchemy involved in such sacred transformational acts such as yagyas. The mouth is the portal that food enters, before it is transformed into life force. It is important to be mindful of our food choices and health at this time- to eat as though it is the sacred act that it is. The following months will give us a new spiritual focus; keep your pilot lights bright and sharp. Align with the purpose of Seva for maximum benefit. May the light of Diwali continue to carry us through the darkest days and this time of turning within. Mercury began its retrograde motion two weeks ago- which kicked off a "dance of returns" so to speak that will continue through the end of May 2014. Over the course of the coming weeks and months Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mars will all retrograde with a sort of domino effect- back to back- one after another. We will be experiencing clean-up on nearly every level of our lives. The next seven months are about re-evaluating and reminding ourselves what are the essential ingredients for life and what is "best practice" for our efforts. This week Jupiter retrogrades. On 11.6 at 22:32 CST, Jupiter begins his focus on clean-up, fixing and healing until March 3rd of 2014. Jupiter's movement back through Gemini will bring elements of uprooting and change as well as "getting to the root of things" with knowledge and insight, understanding and compassion. Retrograde Jupiter reminds us to find healthy boundaries in our relationships- boundaries that sustain our energy and efforts- without feeling the need to "fix" or take on partners as patients, heal the entire world, be co-dependent etc. This transit will ask healers to get really clear on why they "do what they do"- the root of their need to help and be of service. We will each be working with these issues in our own way and hopefully we will find healthy ways to recreate balance in our lives. It is a good time to revisit my Jupiter in Gemini article from several months back for reminders about this current transit. Utilize my jyoti/creative arts activities as a healing & awareness tool. This week's Jyoti/Expressive Art Therapy Creative Engagement Activity moves us into the light of possibility and expansion via song. *Horoscopes are based on your Vedic rising sign. You can also check your Moon and Sun signs for further insight. Do the same with your Navamsa signs for further clarity. Do not use these horoscopes with your “Western Sign” as there is likely no correlation. These horoscopes are meant to be used as a broad overview of the current transits and obviously do not address the specifics of an individual’s unique chart. Aries: Continue to find new ways to support your self, notice the myriad of ways that support comes to you and your life. What gifts do others bring to you. Are you willing and able to receive them? Your intuition is sharp right now. Go with gut instincts. Find resolution for anger towards children, friends, loss and the past. Let your Self and others off the hook for making mistakes. Taurus: Speak the sweet truth and sing your heart songs. Cleaning and clearing past relationships feels important to you suddenly. Work with the underlying anger. Your healing work is directly connected to digestion, gut, enemies, vulnerabilities, fears and bad habits. A clear and clean gut gives a clear and clean intuition. Gentle detox is best- avoid fast and furious healing endeavors- they will only lead to greater vulnerability and chaos. Slow and steady wins the race. Gemini: Think of your Self as a computer getting a re-boot, a re-programming. Your natural ability to connect and communicate is finding an expansive and sensual side right now. How does it feel? Can you get out of your mental body and into your emotional/imaginal body? Can you step outside of your default mode and hit control + alt + delete to get a fresh start? Listen to your gut response, your intuitive wisdom for guidance. Be mindful of your food choices for optimum intelligence. Cancer: Relationships are getting a new opportunity to heal and find ease. Perhaps you are gaining some new wisdom about how to respond from the heart, while keeping safe and healthy boundaries? You can be clear and poignant with your words and needs while still being loving and kind. Your growth is entirely unseen by others, but trust your process any way. This month, mind your gut and watch your diet. Bad habits and enemies will take extra bravery and courage on your part. Leo: Sharpness and quickness rule supreme right now. Courage and bravery are required with intelligence, relationships and passions. What is your emotional response to others and how might this be a signal for you in other ways? Use friends as teachers and seek their messages and metaphors. Finding balance with your courage, efforts and strength is paramount right now. Burning out and burning up are way too easy, yet not sustainable. Virgo: Speak, yell, sing. Howl, cluck, meow. Change the way you use your words and how they emerge. Your gift with words are finding a new way of expression right now. Move with it. Find channels to unleash your emotions and use this as a tool for liberation and creativity. Relationships are going through deep transformation. See them as your guru- the Great Messenger. Be mindful of your words and what goes in and out of your mouth. Eat well. Libra: Grounding and Self care are so important for you right now. When the storm winds blow and get too intense, it is crucial to get into your physical body and out of the mental body. Mind the emotions and work with them- not against them. Use their charge to spawn new creative efforts and wisdom. Cultivate a practice of listening, pausing, breathing- before acting. And at all costs, remember you can trust your Self and your abilities. Be resourceful. Scorpio: Working from your little island is proving successful, yet alliances and support systems are more necessary than ever. What's the resistance? Trust issues? Fear of losing/giving away power? Lack of finances? All of the above? Your priorities need an overhaul. You can't do everything alone. Success come from asking for help from the right people, places and things as well as trusting. You're about to get a chance to do some major re-do's. Great. Now let's re-prioritize. Sagittarius: Some sense of nurturing is available now- are you letting it seep in? Friends and children offer support, wisdom and new insights. You are cared for and loved. Trust the Universe to provide and nourish you. Long standing internal anger is your greatest teacher right now. What does this fire stoke within you? How can you harness it rather than let it burn you up? What does this rage want, need, desire? It takes up a lot of energy to push it away and put it out. Why not work with it in a new way? Capricorn: Your creativity is focused on the foreign, travels, healing and relationships. These areas give a boost to your career, but will come with effort, attention, and structured wisdom. It is important to listen to gut instincts. Clarity will come by eating sattvic foods, lightly, with a gentle Ayurvedic cleanse. This is a time to be bold and courageous. It's who you are. Don't listen to the self doubt. Aquarius: Teachers come in all shapes and sizes. You are getting a chance to change some old patterns, beliefs and philosophies that no longer work or serve you. Friends and older siblings may prove as valuable resources right now and bring a wealth of information with them. Listen up! If you notice resistance within, anger towards others, or judgement and discrimination, I suggest you do some deep introspection and thoughtful investigation as to where it is coming from. Old habits die hard. Pisces: Vulnerability is your greatest strength. Some new healing is available to you now that may have not been available before, as well as some tools to help others and be of service. You are also able to take your insights and turn them into offerings in new and profound ways. Use your dharmic resources and trust your instincts. Heal and be healed. Forgive your Self and your enemies and nourish and nurture. From darkness there will come light. Navaratri Blessings! Moon Mind ::: 10.7 Moon is waxing and has just moved into Scorpio, its sign of debilitation, where it joins Venus there. Both planets receive drishti from Mars which is now in Leo. On this third day of Navaratri (and final day of Durga) use this as a time for deep introspection- especially in regard to relationships, emotions, using blame (rather than confronting our own demons). May the fierce and unapologetic warrior goddess Durga lead the way towards obliterating our shadows, so that new layers of light can enter our awareness. 10.8 Moon moves to Anuradha nakshatra in the early hours of the morning. Relationships with friends, forming contracts and bonds, attending to fine detail work, is enlivened by Mitra today- though it may be through hard work and some struggle. Old allies return, or disappointments resurface. Mercury crosses Saturn in exact degrees at 14:15 CDT today and continue to be in close conjunction through the weekend. Let old, stubborn thinking patterns get restructured. Re-evaluate. Re-calculate. Watch for stubborn thinking and notice if you are getting lost in the details. Eating too much sugar? Emotional eating and drinking? How are you seeking the sweet in life? Moon is crossing Venus today, so look for shadows effecting your actions. It is also the first day of goddess Lakshmi in the Navaratri festivities. She brings us the nectar of life, abundance and nourishment. Ask and yee shall receive- but do you know how to ask?! Jai Ma. Abundant Navaratri blessings! *I am currently observing Navaratri and taking more silence for my self. Horoscopes will resume next week. See last week's post for Navaratri details. (See links below).

Tuesday, 9.10 Moon transits Libra in Vishaka nakshatra the majority of the day, but moves to its debilitation sign Scorpio at 15:13 CDT, then into Anuradha nakshatra at 21:02 CDT. Strive for balance in relationships and with inner and outer life. Emotional pressures may be felt with a side order of anger. Channel this energy into creative activities, personal goals, methodical steps forward. Watch your reactive and binary thinking patterns. Be solution oriented. Build alliances. Find support and friendship. Take time for tea with someone who feels loving and supportive. |
